The Spins
Now if only I looked as good as Kim Novak. I woke up this morning with a brutal case of vertigo. This has never happened to me before, although I am severely prone to all varieties of ear maladies (damn you, small eustachian tubes). When I got up from bed this morning, the whole room was spinning, a sensation I usually associate with drinking an entire bottle of Southern Comfort, and yet I had been respectably sober the night before. I blame allergies and my stupid middle ear. Thank goodness my mom was staying over last night-Brian was out of town on business-otherwise I don’t think I would have made it to the couch without barfing. She was also able to get Ashok out of bed and dressed while I sat in the living room staring at an electrical socket to keep myself from falling over. What a horrible feeling, and I didn’t even get to get drunk first.
Needless to say, I have been stuck on the couch for the remainder of the day. Brian is back now and being a great nurse and I am hopped up on Benadryl and feeling a little better. Standing up, or even moving my head too fast while seated, will send me reeling though, and I’m wondering if I’m going to be calling in sick for work tomorrow.
mmmm…..benadryl kicking in now…night ni……zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
